Please help me fix my PC problem

It just begun about a month ago, at first i thought it was the games but it happens in windows 10 too.
Basically when im playing games / use windows monitor screen turns black for about 3 - 4 seconds then turns back on.
I must say i am playing my PC on a 4K TV. I tried using different HDMI ports - all the same.
Now, i got a sky satellite TV box here, a PS4 console and 4K blu ray player all connected to my TV and there all work fine. Does it mean the problem here is with my PC?
Theres another way to check it, i got a 26inch old monitor in the shed and i could hook it up and check it out, if its the same then its definitely my PC thats playing up.

Give the other monitor a try and make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card.

also, check the date date the graphics driver was installed. it is possible that windows update installed a new graphics driver that is causing your issue. you can roll back the driver, if a new version is causing the problem.

It's most likely your satellite box. Are you passing your hdmi cords through it? If you are, that's most likely the culprit.
If not, I'd try what the other said.

Try another monitor, if still having problem I'd look first at GPU (try another) if you have.

Did you check Google? This is literally the first result for "hdmi screen goes blank intermittently" that Google served me:
https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/pc-hdmi-problem-intermittent-screen-blanks-398195/
Other than that, it's really hard to give much advice (beyond what Koraks said, more or less) based on what you wrote. It's sort of like showing somebody a rats nest on a breadboard and asking them why it doesn't work. It's hard to help when you don't even know how the thing is put together.

Perhaps the video card doesn't like changing from DVI to HDMI.
I would first try a monitor with a DVI cable only and see if that helps the issue.

I think its the graphics card. The mother board could be an issue as well.
Have you ran a self-diagnositic yet?
